Cloud study demystifies impact of aerosols

According to new research, aerosol particles in the atmosphere have a greater impact on cloud cover but less impact on cloud brightness than previously thought. Aerosols are tiny particles suspended in the atmosphere that play an important role in cloud formation. Because aerosols are increasing as...

A new approach can predict pollution from cooking emissions

Organic aerosols may stay in the atmosphere for several days. Because of nanostructures formed by fatty acids as they are released into the air. Scientists will be able to better understand and predict their impact on the environment and the climate, by identifying the processes...

Discovering a new way by which aerosols rapidly form and grow at high altitude

Aerosol particles can form and grow in Earth's upper troposphere in an unexpected way. The new mechanism may represent a major source of cloud and ice seed particles in areas of the upper troposphere where ammonia is efficiently transported vertically. Aerosol particles are known...

Commercial floor cleaners produce as much aerosol pollution particles as public roads

Indiana University, Purdue University, Université de Lille, Center for Energy and Environment and Edelweiss Technology Solutions and LLC researchers have found that people using commercial cleaners with certain chemicals in them may be exposed to as much particle pollutants as if they were sitting...

Anthropogenic aerosols have a significant role on surface temperature

The warming effect of anthropogenic aerosol reduction will superimpose on the cooling effect caused by the reduction of CO2. A new study has found this. This will lead to a great surface temperature increase. Temperature reduction and cooling rate will be delayed because of...
